Functions & Objectives

FUNCTIONS
  • To develop undergraduate and postgraduate students of high standards in terms of knowledge acquisition, attitude, and communication.
  • To implement curriculum development and introduce innovative teaching-learning as well as assessment methods.
  • To strengthen PG competency and skill set by exploring new research tools and avenues for dissertation.
  • To facilitate UG/PG and faculty for quality education.
  • To nurture a cordial environment by mentoring and counselling to make our institute a place of benevolent venue for learning.
  • To actively participate, contribute, assist, and aid in building an efficient administrative team in order to provide a harmonious educational environment.
  • Our goal is teaching human physiology through an advanced teaching program supported by appropriate and internationally recognized research activities carried out by our qualified, dedicated, and motivated teachers.
  • We envisage maintaining the Department of Physiology at par excellence by imparting need-based and value-based education.
  • The purpose of training in Physiology is to produce experts with necessary knowledge, skills, and attitude to impart education and carry out research in Physiology, enable them to serve the community as competent physiologists, and render appropriate advice/service to clinicians as and when required.
  • Teach and train future undergraduate & postgraduate medical students in Human Physiology, carry out & guide research, contribute to the advancement of the subject, and organize & manage administrative responsibilities for routine day-to-day departmental work.
OBJECTIVES
  • To introduce the students to the physiological concepts of homeostasis and control mechanisms.
  • To understand the role of molecules, cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems in human health and disease.
  • To study the functions of body systems with emphasis on clinical relevance.
  • To understand the physiology and basic regulatory concepts of organ systems and the mechanisms that allow the body to carry out those functions.
  • To demonstrate a mechanistic (how) and teleological (why) understanding of the levels of organization comprising the human organism.
  • To integrate knowledge of major systems to outline how these systems interact to maintain homeostasis.
  • To demonstrate the use of scientific methods and quantitative reasoning in the field of physiology.
